nebristolred Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Well it's impossible to say, but I'd argue that a bunch of stupid Millwall fans particularly picking Eni Aluko and nobody else to target with bad reviews almost certainly has a racial element behind it.

I think a problem is one of the reviews she highlighted had written purely along the lines of that they didn't enjoy it and had left a 1 star review, however she picked it out as a supposed Millwall fan and threatened legal action, then went on to call Millwall fans scum, as a solicitor perhaps not the wisest move and could open herself up to action, the person who wrote it not being a Millwall fan/objects to being called scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just now, Numero Uno said: He had a reputation based upon ignorance and let’s cut the crap it may have been racially motivated from certain sections of the media but the way he dealt with that and the support he received in the game ensured that this was relatively short lived (any time being too long clearly). Raheem Sterling, without knowing the guy, comes across as a credit to himself. Other people..............just don’t to be honest. So by that, you mean Aluko? Fair enough. As I said above, it's impossible to directly pin it on racism, but a successful female black footballer, over 100 caps for England and legally trained... it's a perfect target for certain sections of the gutter press. As was Sterling. As it happens I agree with you about Sterling by the way. I used him as an example as to why controversy can seek certain people, rather than follow.
